This is copied from a different thread but here goes (waiting for the wheelchair riding, finger pointing, keyboard tough guys to start their assault on my behaviour)
Correction; my Bike did 187-193mph.
Did some gear checks today & with the change in sprockets in second gear it does 72 mph at 7000 revs, 3rd gear I got to 90mph plus at 7000 revs & backed off.
Yes it changes the character of the bike slightly & it's not as exhilarating going from 1-70mph with the gear changes BUT I have 4 more gears to use & its so much easier to riide.
Info; from 15* & 43 on a late 2016 build I went to 16** & 41.
*supposedly 14 was stock.
*they said this was what they took off & I know the previous owner didnt modify it
**we were going to go 17 but even at 16 we had to remove the internal case guide behind the sprocket cover as it was scraping against the chain.
Maybe some of you tech guys would know the answers to the chain guide issue, it was the original chain

I admit, I never even noticed the Z1000 line up until the 2014 model arrived but was never really into 1 Liter Bikes.
I now look at first gen 03's onwards & think "WTF, I must have had my head up in my Ass.
Even smashed up on one side my Bike looks like what Mad Max would have cobbled together if he had the option.
If the World as we know it does start to fall off its Axis, I am glad I got into The Promised Land before the doors shut.

Doctor nice looking bike what brand sprockets you got? After you modified the exhaust did you do any changes to the computer?

What kind of windscreen is that? I’ve been looking for something like that. Looks great!

Thanks! It's a Puig windscreen. Definitely doesn't prevent all buffeting but it's much better than stock.

My mechanic, GEMINI MOTORSPORTS in Chatsworth outside LA has a manufacturer nearby that just happens to manufacture sprockets-dont know the name.
No I did not tune the bike - it already has way too much power for me. Plus Chris at IXIL said it wasnt necessary on a liter bike, simply installed a Servo Buddy $65 @Revzilla to remove any possible codes - physically removed all the Servo motor & parts. Bike runs fine, sounds like it looks - when you arrive at a bike store, meet, gathering everyone who is fawning over the Panigales & other Exotics almost en masse leave & walk over to my Bike - I dont have to say anything - at lights everyone rolls down the window & ask all the usual questions ...
